When a company puts human-centered design at the heart of its digital agenda, it can find new sources of value through technology. Here are five principles to embrace to achieve this new way of doing business: http://stratbz.to/vO0wq
Digital Transformation ( DT) – the use of technology to radically improve and differentiate performance or reach of enterprises is becoming a hot topic for companies across the globe. Executives in all industries are using digital advances such as Analytic, Mobility, Social media and smart embedded devices and improving their use of traditional technologies such as ERP – to change customer relationships, internal processes, and value propositions. We continue to see how fast digital technology disrupted media industries in the past decade and it now spreading to all businesses irrespective of the domain and sectors.
How can top / senior management successfully lead digital transformation? While we all know and urge the team to get started on the digital transformation journey , few tell how to do it. This book gives a clear “ How” part .
I have also given in the summary few good case studies where digitization has impacted the business outcomes like Burberry , Asian Paints, Nike, Codelco, Starbucks , UPS etc.
The how part –Leading digital transformation
• Sharing a digital transformation vision across the enterprise ( not in piece mail – all businesses across the group need to envision the journey and be in sync)
• Gaining critical mass – inclusiveness
• Frame the digital challenges
• Focus investment on resources
• Sustaining the transformation

The Digital Advantage: How digital leaders outperform their peers in every in...Capgemini
Capgemini Consulting and the MIT Center for Digital Business Global Research
New digital technologies like social media, mobile, and analytics are advancing rapidly on the economic landscape. These innovations are used widely by consumers and employees alike. Facebook has more than 1 billion users. There are more than 6 billion mobile phones. Employees often have better digital solutions at home than they do at work, and many customers are more technology savvy than the people trying to sell to them.
Executives in every industry – from media to electronics to paint manufacturing – face a bewildering array of new digital opportunities. They are paying attention, but they have few signposts to guide them. Most stories in the business media focus on fast-moving startups like Zynga and Pinterest, or on a few large high-tech firms like Apple, Google, or Amazon. Unfortunately, to many leaders, stories of these nimble and innovative firms just do not make sense for traditional companies that are older, larger, and burdened with inflexible legacies.
We decided to find out what fast-moving digital innovations mean for large traditional companies. In two years of study covering more than 400 large firms, we found that most large firms are already taking action. They are using technologies like social media, mobile, analytics and embedded devices to change their customer engagement, internal operations and even their business models. But few firms have positioned themselves to capture the real business benefits. Our research points to a real “digital advantage” to those that do.
Digital maturity matters. It matters in every industry. And the approaches that digitally mature companies use can be adopted by any company that has the leadership drive to do so.
Organizations are driving speed and value by accessing a
“single voice” to coordinate enterprise mobility initiatives.

Ctrl-alt-del: Rebooting the Business Model for the Digital AgeCapgemini
Our research with the MIT Sloan Management Review reveals that only 16% of organizations are leveraging digital technologies to develop new business models. Most organizations follow traditional approaches to innovation that focus on new products and services, rather than on business models. However, research suggests that the returns from traditional approaches have been diminishing with time. As Serguei Netessine, Professor at INSEAD Singapore says, “Pharmaceutical companies spend as much as 30% of their revenues on R&D, trying to develop new products or technologies. But the return from this enormous expenditure has been very elusive and it is a common problem across industries.” Business model reinvention can be as good a route as technology, product or service innovations. This research highlight five different approaches that organizations can adopt to reinvent their business model with digital technologies.
Growing Interest in Cloud Based Digital Experiences -- An IDC and IBM Digital...IBM Digital Experience
As marketing, commerce, and customer service continue to shift to digital channels — and as an increasingly greater share of an organization's revenue comes from digital business — organizations have become acutely aware of the need for an enterprise digital experience platform.

Organizations are increasingly turning to platforms such as IBM Digital Experience on Cloud to meet today's digital business requirements. As IDC's research has shown, organizations that use IBM Digital Experience have realized significant business benefits, including increased revenue and quicker time to market, reduced costs and improved staff productivity, and increased customer and employee engagement.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Need TD Bank needed to find a way to connect their geographically dispersed employees more effectively, improve executive communications, increase their workforce efficiency and reduce the amount of resources they were expending to run their business. Solution TD Bank didn’t just replicate existing processes on Connections, they transformed the ways in which their teams interacted with each other. They identified the value of using this social tool early and are already seeing a qualitative and quantitative impact on their business processes. Benefits Teams were finding it difficult to stay connected. Connections connects geographically dispersed teams and facilitates collaboration. The company directory made it difficult to identify experts and use their skills to help clients. Now, they can conduct focused searches and find expert knowledge and advice easily and quickly. Onboarding employees was too manual and paper-based. Connections provided a single repository for onboarding support and reduced onboarding time by 50%. Employees spent significant time and resource looking for information to do their jobs. Now, content is aggregated, and tools and information that support business roles are easily accessible. Managers needed to improve their engagement in critical projects. Through online collaboration, managers can stay up to date in real time and engage in the progress of projects and initiatives. Leaders sought an interactive forum to communicate and stay involved with the entire ecosystem. Typically field calls were expensive and limited to small groups. Online forums removed the communication barriers, increased transparent and enhanced interaction. One division reduced meeting times by five hours a week. Email loads and project updates were exhausting valuable resources and wasting time . By transferring the conversation to Connections, one division reduced their e-mails by a factor of 40 to 1. Another division reduced their e-mails by 25%. Projects can now be updated in 5-10 minutes, down from 60 minutes.

Children's Medical Center of Dallas wanted a way to help patients and families learn from one another's experiences and improve education and support networks, with the hope of driving more effectively managed care. As the 7th largest pediatric healthcare provider in the US- with nearly 570,000 patient visits every year- and a network of physicians and employees, they had a large potential 'social graph' to tap into. Using a solution, with key software of IBM WebSphere Portal, IBM Connections, Mobile Portal capability, IBM Forms, Coremetrics, and Tivoli, which integrated health records, educational material, tools, and the Children’s Social Network into a single web experience, CMDC provided patients and parents with a private community for communication and support. It is estimated to drive a 75% reduction in clinic phone calls, a 5% increase in referrals, integration within the continuity of care and reduced operating costs.
The need: Radio communications are a standard emergency tool in this large city in the United States. However, radios for 100 individuals in the city’s new Emergency Operations Center (EOC) would be too noisy and too expensive.

The solution: With help from IBM Business Partner UnifiedEdge, the city outfitted the EOC with RadioConnect, a plugin for IBM Sametime® software that allows users to monitor and talk over multiple radio channels with headsets while sitting at desktop computers. Specialized radio gateways digitize the audio, capture it and push it to and from radio networks. The benefits: Enables improved operational awareness and decision-making capabilities with presence awareness, one-to-many communications and other unified communications features Saves operational expenses for the EOC by reducing the number of radios needed in the center from 400 to 24 Increases cooperation and synergy of action between emergency organizations and levels of government Solution components: IBM Sametime® IBM Business Partner UnifiedEdge IBM GovernmentIndustry Framework IBM Lotus® Quickr®
